Estate, gifting strategies to consider before tax time
Expert gives questions to ask before making changes
Financial expert Shelly Keirn, of Stoy Malone, visited 11 News Today on Sunday morning to talk about the possibility of tax increases that could be on the horizon if Congress doesn't act before the end of the year. She said the possible increases are because both federal estate and gift tax exemptions are set to revert to below 2001 levels beginning Jan. 1, 2013, and estate tax rates are set to rise sharply.
Here are some estate and gifting strategies she said people can consider over the next few months:
A grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT):
A GRAT is an irrevocable trust that pays a fixed annuity to the grantor for a defined period, and then pays the remainder to a non-charitable beneficiary. "A GRAT is typically used by high-net-worth individuals who have an estate over the lifetime gift tax exemption amount," Keirn said.
A qualified personal residence trust (QPRT):
A QPRT streamlines the process of gifting a primary residence or vacation home to your beneficiaries. Let's say you want to ensure that your children inherit the family home. You want to pass it on to them without incurring estate and gift taxes on any future appreciation. A QPRT allows you to place the house in a trust for a specified term of years.
Making immediate outright gifts:
You may want to consider making an immediate gift in order to use all, or part of, the $5,120,000 individual (or $10,240,000 per couple) 2012 federal lifetime gift tax exemption. This gift can be made outright to individuals or into an irrevocable trust. Under current law, in order to use the higher exemption, a gift would have to be completed by December 31, 2012.
Gifting into an irrevocable trust:
Gifting assets into an irrevocable trust can enable a grantor to set forth the provisions of when, and under what circumstances, beneficiaries can receive distributions. But, by making a gift, you are giving up ownership and control of the gifted amount, and, once given, typically the gift cannot be undone.
Front-loading 529 college savings plans:
These accounts can be especially useful because you can front-load them with five years' worth of annual exclusion gifts at one time, without incurring any taxable gift. You effectively remove these funds from your estate, the earnings in the accounts grow tax deferred, and, as long as distributions are used for qualified higher education expenses, distributions are federal income tax free. Note that if the donor of the front-loaded five-year gift dies within the five-year period, the prorated portion of the transferred amount for the years after death will be included in the donor's estate for estate tax purposes.
Making tax-smart charitable year-end contributions:
Closer to year-end, donating long-term appreciated securities may be a particularly tax-savvy strategy. As a general rule, donations of long-term appreciated securities (either stocks or mutual funds) directly to a qualified charity are deductible at their fair market value on the date of contribution, and you don't pay capital gains taxes on them.
Direct payments of educational or medical costs:
Direct tuition payments to a loved one's school are not treated as taxable gifts and, therefore, do not count against your annual or lifetime gift tax exemption. Similarly, direct payments to a loved one's medical care provider are not treated as taxable gifts.
Important questions to ask before making any changes:
Be sure to consult a financial representative and attorney or tax adviser, and review the following questions before making any changes to your estate plan.
- What are my goals for my estate plan?
- Am I in a position to use the time-sensitive strategies mentioned above?
- What is the best type of trust for my personal needs and legacy wishes?
- Can I afford to make a large gift?
- Will I potentially need these funds at some point in the future?
- Am I comfortable making an outright gift directly to my heirs, or do I prefer that the gift be made into an irrevocable trust?
- Am I comfortable using part or all of my lifetime gift (and estate) tax exemption?
- Am I concerned about my heirs being subject to creditor claims or divorce?
- Do I live in a state that assesses a tax on gifts?
- Do I own any assets that could dramatically increase in value?
No matter your net worth, it's important to have a basic estate plan in place. An estate plan ensures that your family and financial goals are met after you die.

State lawmakers announced an initiative this week to help boost Colorado's high-tech business sector and create new highly-skilled, well-paying jobs by finding ways to help businesses get capital through grants.
Gov. John Hickenlooper joined Speaker-elect Mark Ferrandino, Senate President-elect John Morse, and members of the General Assembly to announce the bipartisan House Bill 13-1001– "The Advanced Industries Accelerator Act."
The economic development legislation is intended to create new high-skill jobs, increase exports, drive innovation and capital investment, create stronger partnerships between educational institutions and industry, accelerate technology commercialization and promote Colorado's research and development activities.
"We can boost Colorado's advanced industries by increasing their access to capital," Hickenlooper said. "These types of bipartisan efforts will help Colorado continue to grow and sustain a long-term innovative ecosystem that creates highly-skilled jobs and prepares Coloradans to fill them."
Advanced industries are comprised of engineering and research and development-intensive companies that deliver groundbreaking, innovative products. They share common workforce skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, as well as manufacturing.
The economic impact of these industries is significant, accounting for 30 percent of the state's economy, 520,300 high-paying jobs and hundreds of thousands of ancillary jobs.
Colorado has identified seven advanced industries in the state: aerospace, advanced manufacturing, bioscience, electronics, energy and natural resources, technology and information and infrastructure engineering.
"This bipartisan legislation marks a major investment in Colorado's long-term economic prosperity," Ferrandino said. "It sends a clear message to Colorado's innovators that we are there for them over the long haul, and to leaders everywhere that Colorado can compete with anyone for any industry."
HB 1001, sponsored by Reps. Dave Young (D-Greeley) and Cheri Gerou (R-Evergreen) and Sens. Rollie Heath (D-Boulder) and Pat Steadman (D-Denver), provides for an incentive that encourages more collaboration among industry, research institutions and federal laboratories, and private-sector funders. It will create a program that will provide grants to advanced industries seeking funding for proof of concept research and development, early stage capital and retention and infrastructure.
The program will be managed out of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), which will work with research institutions, industry partners and the Economic Development Commission to qualify companies and disburse funds.
"The funding that Colorado's advanced industries will receive through these new grants will help convert ideas into real jobs, enable us to keep and grow companies we help create, and build a foundation to help companies succeed," said Ken Lund, executive director of OEDIT.
How it will help
Colorado's research institutions and federal labs currently bring in close to $2 billion annually in advanced technology related research funds. Additional investment in advanced industries will help leverage even more dollars into the state, which will translate into more products and jobs.
HB 1001 will accelerate the commercialization process, enabling Colorado companies and products to spin-out of Colorado research institutions and significantly reduce the time-to-market cycle.
Setting aside a minimum amount of early-stage matching funds will help Colorado-based technology companies attract private investment.
Funding will be directed at strategic points in a company's capital cycle, which will help retain assets and investments in Colorado and create stronger ties to Colorado for future growth.
To access proof-of-concept grants, researchers and companies must use research performed at Colorado institutions. Most grants would be limited to $150,000.
Preference will be given to those projects that focus on technologies that cut across multiple advanced industries and across multiple research institutions. Such collaborative projects may qualify for funding in excess of $150,000.
Those seeking the grants must make a 25 percent match.
Early-stage capital and retention grants require at least 50 percent of the employees for a project must be based in Colorado. This grant size is limited to $250,000
Preference will be given to companies that provide services or products across multiple advanced industries. Such companies may qualify for early-stage funding in excess of $250,000
Those seeking early-stage grants must make a 67 percent match.
Grants for infrastructure funding are limited to $500,000. Preference will be given to those projects that focus on technology or product development that cut across multiple advanced industries and across multiple research institutions. Such collaborative projects may qualify for funding in excess of $500,000.
Those seeking early-stage grants must make a 67 percent match.
Preference will be given to facilities for research and development, production and commercialization. Preference will be given for workforce development through centers of excellence tied to advanced industries' workforce needs.
Some funding sources for HB 1001 have been identified, and the Governor's Office will work with the General Assembly on the funding details.

The Rascals' Gene Cornish collapses
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Gene Cornish of The Rascals collapsed on stage while performing in Montana but is expected to recover.
Cornish, 74, was still hospitalised but was resting comfortably after he collapsed on Friday the Alberta Bair Theater in Billings, his pblicist Melissa Kucirek said.
Kucirek said she did not know what caused Cornish to collapse.
"Gene is working with doctors to remedy (the problem) and get back to doing what he loves most," Kucirek said in an email.
Jody Grant, programming and marketing director for the theater, told the Billings Gazette newspaper that medical personnel used a defibrillator and performed CPR on Cornish before he was taken to the hospital.
Cornish and Cavaliere had completed the first song of a concert and Cavaliere had begun playing one of the band's 1960s hits, A Beautiful Morning, when Cornish collapsed.

In Babylonian astronomical diaries , a planet position was generally given with respect to a zodiacal sign alone, less often in specific degrees within a sign. Knowledge of the Babylonian zodiac is also reflected in the Hebrew Bible ; E.
Bullinger interpreted the creatures appearing in the book of Ezekiel as the middle signs of the 4 quarters of the Zodiac, [20] [21] with the Lion as Leo , the Bull is Taurus , the Man representing Aquarius and the Eagle representing Scorpio. Martin and others have argued that the arrangement of the tribes around the Tabernacle reported in the Book of Numbers corresponded to the order of the Zodiac, with Judah , Reuben , Ephraim , and Dan representing the middle signs of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio, respectively.
Such connections were taken up by Thomas Mann , who in his novel Joseph and His Brothers attributes characteristics of a sign of the zodiac to each tribe in his rendition of the Blessing of Jacob. Hellenistic astrology derived in part from Babylonian and Egyptian astrology.

The Dendera zodiac , a relief dating to ca. The earliest extant Greek text using the Babylonian division of the zodiac into 12 signs of 30 equal degrees each is the Anaphoricus of Hypsicles of Alexandria fl. Hipparchus's lost work on precession never circulated very widely until it was brought to prominence by Ptolemy, [29] and there are few explanations of precession outside the work of Ptolemy until late Antiquity, by which time Ptolemy's influence was widely established.
The Hindu zodiac uses the sidereal coordinate system , which makes reference to the fixed stars. The Hindu zodiac, being sidereal, does not maintain this seasonal alignment, but there are still similarities between the two systems.
The Hindu zodiac signs and corresponding Greek signs sound very different, being in Sanskrit and Greek respectively, but their symbols are nearly identical. This included magical uses of the zodiac, as found, e. Mughal king Jahangir issued an attractive series of coins in gold and silver depicting the twelve signs of the Zodiac.

An example of the use of signs as astronomical coordinates may be found in the Nautical Almanac and Astronomical Ephemeris for the year The "Longitude of the Sun" columns show the sign represented as a digit from 0 to and including 11 , degrees from 0 to 29, minutes, and seconds.
The zodiac symbols are Early Modern simplifications of conventional pictorial representations of the signs, attested since Hellenistic times. But note that the Sanskrit and the name equivalents after c. Also, the "English translation" isn't usually used by English speakers. Latin names are standard English usage. The zodiacal signs are distinct from the constellations associated with them, not only because of their drifting apart due to the precession of equinoxes but also because the physical constellations take up varying widths of the ecliptic, so the Sun is not in each constellation for the same amount of time.
The zodiacal signs are an abstraction from the physical constellations, and each represent exactly one 12th of the full circle, or the longitude traversed by the Sun in about The path of the Sun passes through 13 constellations recognized by ancient Babylonian, Greek, and Roman astronomers including in Ptolemy 's Almagest [43] [44] and the modern International Astronomical Union. Because the Babylonians had a month lunar calendar, they chose and divided up the year evenly.
The 13th was left out: Ophiuchus , the bottom part of which interjects between Scorpio and Sagittarius. Occasionally this difference between the astronomical constellations and the astrological signs is mistakenly reported in the popular press as a "change" to the list of traditional signs by some astronomical body like the IAU, NASA , or the Royal Astronomical Society. For example, in drawing a distinction between astrology and scientific astronomy, NASA notes that "No one has shown that astrology can be used to predict the future or describe what people are like based on their birth dates.
Some "parazodiacal" constellations are also touched by the paths of the planets, leading to counts of up to 25 "constellations of the zodiac". Some other constellations are also mythologically associated with the zodiacal ones: Piscis Austrinus , The Southern Fish, is attached to Aquarius. In classical maps, it swallows the stream poured out of Aquarius' pitcher, but perhaps it formerly just swam in it.
Aquila , The Eagle, was possibly associated with the zodiac by virtue of its main star, Altair. The following table compares the Gregorian dates on which the Sun enters:. The theoretical beginning of Aries is the moment of vernal equinox , and all other dates shift accordingly. The precise Gregorian times and dates vary slightly from year to year as the Gregorian calendar shifts relative to the tropical year. Except for and , the vernal equinox has started on 20 March since , and is projected to until Because the Earth's axis is at an angle, some signs take longer to rise than others, and the farther away from the equator the observer is situated, the greater the difference.
Thus, signs are spoken of as "long" or "short" ascension. The zodiac system was developed in Babylonia , some 2, years ago, during the " Age of Aries ". Contemporary use of the coordinate system is presented with the choice of interpreting the system either as sidereal , with the signs fixed to the stellar background , or as tropical , with the signs fixed to the point vector of the Sun at the March equinox. Western astrology takes the tropical approach, whereas Hindu astrology takes the sidereal one. This results in the originally unified zodiacal coordinate system drifting apart gradually, with a clockwise westward precession of 1.
For the tropical zodiac used in Western astronomy and astrology, this means that the tropical sign of Aries currently lies somewhere within the constellation Pisces " Age of Pisces ". The sidereal coordinate system takes into account the ayanamsa , ayan meaning transit or movement , and amsa meaning small part , i.
Gemini Weekly Horoscope 7 - 13 October, 12222
It is unclear when Indians became aware of the precession of the equinoxes, but Bhaskara 2 's 12th-century treatise Siddhanta Shiromani gives equations for measurement of precession of equinoxes, and says his equations are based on some lost equations of Suryasiddhanta plus the equation of Munjaala. The discovery of precession is attributed to Hipparchus around BC. Ptolemy quotes from Hipparchus' now lost work entitled "On the Displacement of the Solstitial and Equinoctial Points" in the seventh book of his 2nd century astronomical text, Almagest , where he describes the phenomenon of precession and estimates its value.
The principle of the vernal point acting as the first degree of the zodiac for Greek astronomers is also described in the 1st century BC astronomical text of Geminus of Rhodes. Geminus explains that Greek astronomers of his era associate the first degrees of the zodiac signs with the two solstices and the two equinoxes, in contrast to the older Chaldean Babylonian system, which placed these points within the zodiac signs. Ptolemy also demonstrates that the principle of the tropical zodiac was well known to his predecessors within his astrological text, the Tetrabiblos , where he explains why it would be an error to associate the regularly spaced signs of the seasonally aligned zodiac with the irregular boundaries of the visible constellations:.
These events can be useful, for example, to estimate the cross-sectional dimensions of a minor planet , or check a star for a close companion. The Sun's placement upon the vernal equinox, which occurs annually around 21 March, defines the starting point for measurement, the first degree of which is historically known as the " first point of Aries ". Zodiac signs have never been used to determine the boundaries of astronomical constellations that lie in the vicinity of the zodiac, which are, and always have been, irregular in their size and shape.
The use of the zodiac as a means to determine astronomical measurement remained the main method for defining celestial positions by Western astronomers until the Renaissance, at which time preference moved to the equatorial coordinate system , which measures astronomical positions by right ascension and declination rather than the ecliptic-based definitions of celestial longitude and celestial latitude.
The word "zodiac" is also used in reference to the zodiacal cloud of dust grains that move among the planets, and the zodiacal light that originates from their scattering of sunlight. In Unicode, the symbols of zodiac signs are encoded in block "Miscellaneous Symbols": [53].

I've always wanted to visit Scandinavia. I knew I'd get there at some point, the opportunity just hadn't presented itself. Yet. Then during a trip to Napa Valley last June, there is was, right in front of me. After many, many glasses of wine my friend Rachel leaned across the bar and said "Kathy, you have to come to the wedding." "Of course!" I replied, "I'm game for a road trip to Iowa!" She looked at me, dead serious, and said "No, it's in Sweden. On Thanksgiving." "Wait …what?" "Yep, Sweden. In the town my mother grew up in. Höör." And that my friends, is how I came to find myself in Sweden, in late November, in a curiously named town, in a tiny country church built in 1727 witnessing two friends tie the knot and enjoying a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner at the reception. You can't make this stuff up.

Progress Report for 2012
While the project went slower than I had hoped during 2012, much progress was made. At the start of the year, we were still testing the prototype. The main focus was on airflow issues. Here is a photo from January:
Now we are far into Module 1, having built the bowl system with a movable carrier and the frame. We are now working on the additional parts for this module. Specifically, we are building the skirt band that goes under the bowl to prevent beans from traveling under the bowl at the end of the roasting cycle. At this point the bowl moves down 3″, briefly exposing this undesired travel path. The ring is made up of a band the same diameter as the bowl, a support ring to hold this band securely in place and bracing arms that connect this support ring to the bowl carrier.
This is the original drawing of the support ring.
The support ring was water jetted in two halves which will be connected together with joining plates.
The tabs which will have nut plates riveted to them have been bent to shape. The band has holes that match up with the tabs and will be attached with countersunk machine screws.
This is how the ring will look when the halves are joined together.
Currently being machined are the joining plates and bracing arms. I have also designed the automated lift mechanism for the bowl and these parts are being converted to CAD files. We wish you a Happy New Year and look forward to much progress in 2013.
Progress for October 2012: Modifications
During the month of October, we have been checking what we have built and making modifications to improve certain details. A key assembly is the bowl hub and shaft combination. I was not entirely happy with my design and decided to either remake the hub and shaft or modify them both. After discussion with Tim at ACME Metalworks, we determined that the modified parts would work well and be as durable as new parts.
The problem with my design was that there was no positive stop for the hub relative to the shaft and this introduced too much play in the bowl when it rotated. An initial fix was putting a pin into the side of the hub and through the shaft so that the mounting nut could be tightened. It worked great, but my concern was that this fix would make access to the thrust washer virtually impossible. If it were to fail, the roaster would have to be almost completely torn apart to access this tiny part. Access and repairability are part of good design, so I decided to make a different modification: reduce the diameter of the shaft where the hub is attached, creating a shoulder and also decrease the hole diameter of the hub so that it matched the smaller shaft diameter.
The hub was modified by welding a sleeve into the large hole and then machining it precisely to the smaller diameter. Also a new keyway was cut. The welds were faced and made completely smooth.
This is very difficult work that takes an extremely skilled machinist. Our project machinist is Marco and, in this photo, he shows off his workmanship.
The shaft modification was much easier. A short section of the existing shaft needed to be turned down to the new diameter. This was done in a CNC machining center.
Additional modifications were done to the motor mount for the bowl drive motor. We slotted the mounting holes to allow for adjusting the alignment of the motor to the shaft.
A new part also arrived: the linear actuator for the bowl carrier. This device will lift or drop the bowl carrier 3″ in just a few seconds. Dropping the bowl is how we are able to evacuate the beans when the roasting process is done. There will also be a manual way of doing this using a cam and lever arrangement.
I continued drawing new parts for this module. The focus is on the bowl skirt which is a stationary 4″ tall ring that is barely below the spinning bowl. Its purpose is to prevent beans from falling under the bowl when the bowl is dropped at the end of the roasting cycle. My drawings are currently being converted to CAD drawings that will be sent to a water-jetting company for fabrication.
Back on Track
Due to issues within our extended family, I have not been able to focus on creative pursuits. Now that things are better, I am back on the project. Acme Metalworks is doing some modifications on existing parts to improve their performance. They have also machined the counterweights to reduce the amount of effort needed to raise and lower the bowl. We have a linear actuator on order that will be automated source for lifting and lowering the bowl (a manual cam and lever approach will be used for hand operation). I am now designing the bowl skirt and skirt supports.
Progress for Week 13 of Building the Roaster
This week was lucky 13 of building the roaster. It was a week of assembly, rather than making parts, which was an exciting time. Assembly is when you find out if your individual component designs actually fit together properly and if the thing works. Last week, the frame was nearly completed and this week it would be the basis for all of the assembly.
Assembly started with adding components to the frame. We added feet to be able to level the frame. Next, we installed pulleys which will guide the cables for the counterweights. The counterweights will help reduce the amount of effort it takes to lift the bowl, reducing it from 250lbs to about 30lbs.
Meanwhile, we added linear bearings to the bowl carrier. There are eight of them and they precisely guide the bowl carrier up and down.
Next we added the drive motor and its mount. This DC gearmotor directly drives the shaft attached to the bowl.
Then we slid the carrier into place. It has to be partially disassembled during this process due to the compactness of the frame.
The linear guide rods were slipped into place. Each rod is made of hardened steel and is one inch in diameter. The rods guide the carrier with great precision. Each was bolted securely into the frame. Please note my mechanics, Cindy Johnston (my talented wife) and Erich Schultz (coffee cognoscenti).
All of the bolts were tightened once the carrier was aligned.
We then put the precisely machined roasting bowl into place. It mates snuggly with the mounting hub to prevent wobbling.
The bowl was secured with six high-strength flanged bolts. We checked the spinning of the bowl. The next step will be for the run-out and linear movement deviation to be measured with accurate and sensitive equipment so that we know that the assembly meets our specifications.
Progress for Week 12 of Building the Roaster
This week was spent assembling and welding the steel tube frame for the bowl and bowl carrier. The 3″ square tube sections were precisely aligned and welded into place. After this, the welds were ground flush in certain areas where parts will mate.
In addition, steel sleeves were welded into the tube at points where the pressure might warp the tube. This sleeve will carry the one of the linear bearing shafts that guide the bowl carrier.
The only parts remaining that will be welded into place are eight pulley shafts. The pulleys are used to guide cables from the bowl carrier to the counterweights to make lifting the bowl easier.
Progress for Week 11 of Building the Roaster
The next step in the process is to design and build the framework that holds the bowl carrier and the shafts that the linear bearings ride on. We decided to use 3″ square steel tubing with a 1/8″ wall thickness. It will be made of several sections welded together into a rigid unit. I gave my drawings to ACME Metalworks and they started by creating a CAD drawing.
The CAD file was then used by the machinist to start drilling and boring holes for future connections.
They also machined sleeves for certain holes that will be welded into place and ground down. The sleeves are for areas where extra rigidity is need to prevent crushing the square tube. This sleeve is for one of the linear bearing shafts. As it is bolted into place, the squeezing of the top and bottom hex nuts could warp the tube.
As the tube sections are completed, the tubes are gathered together into a kit to send to ACME's in-house welding shop.
Meanwhile, I've been working with the bowl drive motor to adjust the controls and become familiar with its operation.
Designing a Component
The roaster project will ultimately be made up of thousands of parts, each of which will be designed by me or by another designer. While it is impractical to tell the story of each part, I thought it might be interesting to tell the story of one part. In this case: part number 1B-001, the "Upper Plate" of the bowl carrier assembly. It is about 20″ square and made of 1/2″ thick machined cast aluminum.
Before a part can be designed, the basic concept of how a completed machine will work must be thought through. This is the initial sketch of how the bowl support system might work. It included the idea of a square tube frame with four shafts that would guide the movement of some sort of carrier up and down.
The idea of what a carrier might look like began to take shape in rough sketches. There would need to be upper and lower sets of linear bearings to make sure that the carrier would not have too much play or twist. This would likely take the form of an upper plate and a lower plate with some sort of connecting pieces that could stiffen the structure without adding lots of weight and excess metal.
An 'X' design for the plate seemed efficient by concentrating metal just where it is needed. The vertical elements would fit into the 'X' pattern.
The simple shape needed to be refined to take into account the other components that would be joined with the upper plate. This sketch started to conceptually detail some of those elements.
I started to research what purchased components would be assembled with the upper plate. The bearing for the the bowl drive shaft is one such part. I needed the specification sheets for each component to understand the performance and dimensions of each, so that it would mate perfectly with the finished part.
The next step was to do a series of design study sketches for how other components I was designing would fit. In this case, I had decided not to weld the vertical supports to the plate and, instead, bolt them on. This required 'L' shaped stiffeners to form the 90 degree connections. These would bolt to both the vertical supports and the upper plate.
Other studies were drawn to show how parts would be bolted together and assembled. All of this helped me decide on bolt sizes and, therefore, hole diameters.
At this point, the thought process was complete and the design studies drawn. It was time to draw the actual mechanical drawing for the part. I drew it to scale and in the nomenclature used by mechanical engineers for describing parts and dimensioning. At this point refinements such as cooling fins and smoothing radii were added.
I also created a table for the coordinates of the various holes in the upper plate, including the purpose and size of each hole. Normally this would be done in CAD, but I manually calculated the rotation of holes to each arm of the 'X' using old school trigonometry.
At ACME Metalworks, they converted my drawings and hole coordinates into a drawing and code that the automated milling machines can use. The file was then sent to the mill for production.
The final product was machined from 1/2″ cast aluminum.
I assembled the upper plate into the bowl carrier assembly to check the fit of all parts. It fit perfectly! … And that is how the design process works for each of the components in the roaster project.
Progress for Week 7 of Building the Roaster
This week we continued assembling parts completed by ACME Metalworks and checking for fit and other issues that might become apparent. So far, everything is in good order. We inserted the thrust bearings and tested the fit of the drive hub. The bowl is bolted to the hub, so the fit of the hub is extremely important.
We also mounted the linear bearings and fit the precision shafts that the bearings run on. The bearings are made of Frelon®, which is in that same family as Teflon®. It is self lubricating and can withstand harsh environments.
The precision shafts come already hardened, so they were sent to a grinding shop to have threads ground into them. The threaded end of each rod will be bolted into the main frame of the roasting module.
We also received the controller for the motor that will drive the bowl directly. The motor is a DC brushless motor made in the USA by Bodine Electric. This controller allows us to adjust the speed, acceleration, deceleration, and direction of the motor.
Progress for Week 6 of Building the Roaster
While we traveled in California, Acme Metalworks was machining many of my parts for Module 1. As a reminder, Module 1 is the roasting bowl, its carrier, and the drive system. This happens to be the heart of the roaster and the most critical module of all. The alignment of the bowl and its ability to spin without wobble and to be moved up and down very precisely is absolutely essential to the proper operation of the roaster.
Previously, the bowl had been cut and machined to the right shape. Holes were bored for the drive hub which supports the bowl and connects it to the drive shaft. The bottom curvature was accurately measured and now the hub was machined for an exact match.
The carrier for the bowl, its drive shaft, and the drive motor was completed and given to me in pieces to assemble. The carrier is machined aluminum, comprised of an upper and lower plate attached with vertical web plates. Obviously this could have been a welded assembly, but given the fact that it must be very precise (welding could introduce warpage), would be difficult to fit into a machining station after welding, and that it is a single machine, we chose to bolt it together. A production machine would probably use welding to save cost.
The upper plate holds the thrust bearing (the bearing fits into the recess in the photo) and the upper shaft bearing. Both are lubricated with high temperature grease.
The upper plate also has cooling fins to help bleed off heat transmitted to the bearings from the bowl. There will be a thermocouple or RTD bolted to the plate near the bearings to monitor the temperature.
The entire carrier will move smoothly up and down approximately three inches. Four precision vertical rods will guide the carrier on special linear bearings (eight of them). Both the upper and lower plates have machined tabs to which we shall bolt the linear bearings.
The linear bearings are being purchased from a U.S. manufacturer.
California Roasters
We decided to take a roadtrip to California that included Los Angeles and the Central Coast. While the primary purpose of the trip was rest and relaxation, we do love coffee, so coffee stops were an important part of the trip. Several places were just so-so, but we really enjoyed two roasters.
Verve Coffee, in Santa Cruz, does a great job of roasting and preparing coffee. We had tasted their coffee in San Francisco, but had never been to their stores. We decide to visit the roasting plant and espresso bar on Seabright. The sign on the building definitely caught our eye.
The inside of the roasting plant is neatly organized around their 60's era Probat. This one is 15kg, but they are currently having a larger machine completely refurbished. The staff made us feel very welcome and their coffee was outstanding.
A week later, on our way back to Phoenix, we stopped by Handsome Roaster in the Arts District of LA. It is a very new roastery with some very seasoned owners. The roasting plant is right behind the espresso bar and features a lovingly restored 50's era Probat 22kg machine. In speaking with Chris Owens, co-owner and roastmaster, they do all roasting manually.
The store is very well designed and they are attempting to simplify the coffee experience without dumbing it down. They also are trying to add kindness and approachability into the experience. We thought the drinks were excellent and that the baristas were informative and welcoming. Certain rules are applied which have gotten them into some bit of controversy: there is no sweetener and nothing but whole milk is offered. We applaud their work and wish them success.

The need for leadership varies according to place and situation. Sometimes, a church is growing and certain style of leadership is needed. Sometimes, things are rougher or just getting started, so another kind of a leader is needed. A good leader is able to know which season is which and how to lead in that moment.
I came across this in Ben Horowitz's book, The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers, showing the kind of leadership needed at different moments in a church.
Peacetime CEO knows that proper protocol leads to winning. Wartime CEO violates protocol in order to win.
Peacetime CEO focuses on the big picture and empowers her people to make detailed decisions. Wartime CEO cares about a speck of dust on a gnat's ass if it interferes with the prime directive.
Peacetime CEO builds scalable, high-volume recruiting machines. Wartime CEO does that, but also builds HR organizations that can execute layoffs.
Peacetime CEO spends time defining the culture. Wartime CEO lets the war define the culture.
Peacetime CEO always has a contingency plan. Wartime CEO knows that sometimes you gotta roll a hard six.
Peacetime CEO knows what to do with a big advantage. Wartime CEO is paranoid.
Peacetime CEO strives not to use profanity. Wartime CEO sometimes uses profanity purposefully.
Peacetime CEO thinks of the competition as other ships in a big ocean that may never engage. Wartime CEO thinks the competition is sneaking into her house and trying to kidnap her children.
Peacetime CEO aims to expand the market. Wartime CEO aims to win the market.
Peacetime CEO strives to tolerate deviations from the plan when coupled with effort and creativity. Wartime CEO is completely intolerant.
Peacetime CEO does not raise her voice. Wartime CEO rarely speaks in a normal tone.
Peacetime CEO works to minimize conflict. Wartime CEO heightens the contradictions.
Peacetime CEO strives for broad-based buy-in. Wartime CEO neither indulges consensus building nor tolerates disagreements.
Peacetime CEO sets big, hairy, audacious goals. Wartime CEO is too busy fighting the enemy to read management books written by consultants who have never managed a fruit stand.
Peacetime CEO trains her employees to ensure satisfaction and career development. Wartime CEO trains her employees so they don't get their asses shot off in the battle.
Peacetime CEO has rules like "We're going to exit all businesses where we're not number one or two." Wartime CEO often has no businesses that are number one or two and therefore does not have the luxury of following that rule.

George Neville Watson
Quick Info
Westward Ho!, Devon, England
Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England
BiographyNeville Watson's mother was Mary Justina Griffith, the daughter of the rector of Ardley in Oxfordshire. Neville's father was George Wentworth Watson who was a schoolmaster, but is more famous for his work as a genealogist. He played a large role in the publication of The Complete Peerage, a 13-volume database of the British peerage, generally accepted as the greatest British achievement in the field of genealogy. The first edition was published in London between 1887 and 1898. George and Mary Watson had two children, a boy and a girl, the eldest being Neville.
Neville was educated at St Paul's School in London where he was very fortunate to have the outstanding teacher of mathematics Francis Macaulay. He mixed with equally outstanding pupils, for Littlewood, less than a year older than Watson, was also a pupil at the school. Having won a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge, Watson matriculated there in 1904. At this time there were three young fellows of Trinity all of whom had a major influence on Watson's mathematics. They were Whittaker, Barnes, and Hardy. Perhaps the one from this trio who had the greatest influence on him was Whittaker, despite the fact that he left Cambridge in 1906, two years after Watson began his studies there.
Watson graduated as Senior Wrangler in 1907 (meaning that he was ranked in first position among those who were awarded First Class degrees), completing the Mathematical Tripos in the following year in the second division of the First Class. He won a prestigious Smith's Prize in 1909, becoming a Fellow of Trinity College in 1910. This was particularly pleasing to him for he had a great love of his College, and throughout his life he collected prints of the College and of previous Fellows.
After election to his Trinity fellowship, Watson spent four further years in Cambridge before leaving to take up an assistant lectureship in University College, London. From 1918 to 1951 he was Mason Professor of Pure Mathematics at Birmingham. He married Elfrida Gwenfil Lane, the daughter of a farmer from Holbeach in Lincolnshire, in 1925. They had one son.
Watson worked on a wide variety of topics, all within the area of complex variable theory, such as difference equations, differential equations, number theory and special functions. He is best known as a joint author with Whittaker of A Course of Modern Analysis published in 1915. The first edition of the book has only Whittaker as an author. In 1922 Watson published The theory of Bessel functions which was another masterpiece. Titchmarsh wrote of Watson's books (see for example [2]):-
Here one felt was mathematics really happening before one's eyes. ... the older mathematical books were full of mystery and wonder. With Professor Watson we reached the period when the mystery is dispelled though the wonder remains.One piece of work undertaken by Watson deserves special mention. It involves the problem of wireless waves, which were quickly found to travel long distances despite the fact that theoretically they should not have been able to follow the curvature of the Earth. A mathematical model had been constructed where the Earth was represented by a partially conducting sphere surrounded by an infinite dielectric. Such a model had been used by Macdonald, Rayleigh, Poincaré, Sommerfeld and others. Although Watson was not interested in how best to model the situation, he was, however, very interested in using his expertise to determine mathematical solutions to the given model which others might then check against observations. He obtained solutions to the problem in 1918 which showed conclusively that the model was not a satisfactory one.
In 1902 Heaviside had predicted that there was an conducting layer in the atmosphere which allowed radio waves to follow the Earth's curvature. This layer in the atmosphere, now called the Heaviside layer, was only a conjecture in 1918 but it was suggested to Watson that, having shown the previous model to be wrong, he now look at the model resulting from the postulated Heaviside layer. Watson showed that if the layer was about 100 km above the Earth's surface and it had a certain conductivity, then indeed the solutions obtained closely matched observations. That Heaviside, and Watson, were correct was confirmed in 1923 when the existence of the layer was proved experimentally when radio pulses were transmitted vertically upward and the returning pulses from the reflecting layer were received.
Watson undertook a major project by examining in detail Ramanujan's notebooks, extending his results and supplying proofs. In fact he wrote twenty-five papers relating to results in Ramanujan's notebooks, and he spent many hours making a hand written copy in wonderful script of all the notebooks. He enjoyed numerical calculations and spent many happy hours doing numerical work on his calculating machine.
He was elected to the Royal Society of London in 1919. In 1946 he received the Sylvester Medal of the Royal Society:-
... in recognition of his distinguished contributions to pure mathematics in the field of mathematical analysis and in particular for his work on asymptotic expansion and on general transforms.Watson was also very active in his support for the London Mathematical Society. He served as secretary from 1919 to 1933, president from 1933 to 1935 and acted as an editor of the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society until 1946. The Society awarded him their De Morgan Medal in 1947. The Royal Society of Edinburgh elected him to an honorary fellowship.
We find a little of Watson's personality described in [2]:-
He was the university's expert on the timetable; students with unusual combinations of subjects usually had to be referred to him for advice, and for many years after his retirement the dates of the academic year were governed by the "Watsonian cycle". ... He took great trouble with the style of his letters and his conversation and enjoyed finding a pungent phrase to express his points of view or his criticism ... he made no secret of his aversion to cars, telephones, and fountain pens. He loved trains - whose timetables were as familiar to him as those of the university lectures - and unusual stamps.

When Verizon and HTC announced the Thunderbolt at the CES 2011, the phone was supposed to ship with a video chat capable version of Skype. However, from the time of its announcement to its release date, something happened and the Thunderbolt did not ship with a video chat capable version of Skype.
Now, the folks over at Android And Me have got their hands on some internal documents from Verizon, which suggests that the HTC Thunderbolt will be getting a software update on June 30th.
The software update will bump the Android version on the handset to 2.3.4, and will include a bunch of bug-fixes including a fix for the random reboot issue. The software update carrying the build number 2.07.605.2 will also bring the video-chat capable version of Google Talk, and a new version of Skype, which will also support video-chatting.
The update will also bump the Sense version to 2.1, which will include integration with HTCSense.com. The update also aims at improving the aGPS performance of the handset, and will install Amazon AppStore along with Verizon's Phone Finder and MyVerizon app.
Hopefully, there will be no technical problems and the Android 2.3.4 update for the Thunderbolt will not be delayed.

Dell today announced the acquisition of Gale Technologies, a leading provider of infrastructure automation software that allows organizations to streamline the deployment of on-premise and hybrid clouds for self-service access to infrastructure. Dell also announced the formation of its Enterprise Systems & Solutions organization focused on the delivery of converged and enterprise workload topologies and solutions in alignment with Dell's Enterprise vision.
Gale Technologies helps customers turn discrete compute, network and storage components into integrated and highly-optimized application, virtual desktop infrastructure, and private cloud solutions featuring self-service and advanced automation. Gale Technologies' solution provides a comprehensive management, automation and orchestration platform for simplifying end-to-end provisioning across heterogeneous infrastructures. Gale Technologies delivers automated physical and virtual resource allocation, preserves best practice enterprise infrastructure deployment through reusable templates, and masks that complexity from the end user to provide a valuable enterprise asset.
Gale Technologies' solutions are complementary to Dell's enterprise approach in that they provide cost-effective management and orchestration tools that are easy to deploy and customize in both homogeneous and heterogeneous IT environments. This approach allows customers to extend their current IT investments to capitalize on new IT models.
Dell has taken significant steps to expand its enterprise solutions portfolio to help IT organizations more rapidly respond to business demands, improve efficiency, and strengthen IT services quality. In its 3rd fiscal quarter, Dell's server and networking business grew 11 percent year-over-year. Dell was the only server provider among the top three to have positive unit growth in the quarter and expects Gale Technologies to benefit from that reach.
Through the acquisition and development of its own IP, Dell has built a set of unique assets to deliver the scalable IT infrastructure of the future based on standardized technologies. The addition of Gale Technologies will help accelerate the momentum of Dell's converged infrastructure family, Active Infrastructure, and extend development of additional integrated enterprise solutions.
"Today, enterprises need solutions that enable operational benefits of speed, efficiency, and flexibility in the allocation and use of resources," said Marius Haas, president, Dell Enterprise Solutions Group. "Gale Technologies integrates well with our Active Infrastructure family, and provides an intuitive, flexible and comprehensive foundation for application, virtual desktop infrastructure and private cloud deployments for our customers."
"We are excited to join the Dell team and contribute to the company's transformation into an end-to-end IT solutions provider by extending the Active Infrastructure family of converged solutions. Combining Dell's global scale, reach and enterprise portfolio with our people and technology will allow IT organizations to greatly improve the agility and efficiency of today's and tomorrow's data centers," said Nariman Teymourian, CEO, Gale Technologies.
Enterprise Systems & Solutions Organization
Dell today announced the creation of a new division, the Enterprise Systems & Solutions organization, to develop converged and enterprise workload solutions. This group extends Dell's growing enterprise momentum by focusing on optimizing infrastructure for enterprise applications and complex workloads to help customers achieve increased IT agility while balancing capital costs. This new organization will be led by vice president and general manager Dario Zamarian, who previously headed Dell's Networking business as vice president and general manager. Zamarian will report to Marius Haas, president, Dell Enterprise Solutions Group.
The Enterprise Systems and Solutions organization will accelerate Dell's ability to design solutions that enable complex topologies to be deployed more rapidly by customers. The team's charter includes:
"As customers increasingly move to fully-integrated solutions, we are favorably positioned to capitalize on these trends with industry-leading server, storage, networking, and software assets coupled together as end-to-end systems," said Dario Zamarian, vice president and general manager, Dell Enterprise Systems & Solutions. "In creating this new organization, we plan to accelerate our ability to deliver differentiated value to customers – providing them with improved operational efficiency and the right balance of capability and price."
As Zamarian moves to his new role, Tom Burns joins Dell as vice president and general manager, Dell Networking, reporting to Haas. Burns comes to Dell from Alcatel-Lucent where he was most recently the president of the Enterprise and Strategic Industries Business Group. Prior to this position, Burns was president of the Enterprise Product Group, responsible for product strategy and all sales and marketing activities for the company's enterprise business which included, voice, unified communications and networking and security solutions.
Dell Adds to the Active Infrastructure Family by Expanding Active System Manager
Dell last month announced the Active System Manager, an intuitive tool for the most common infrastructure administrative tasks that is central to the Active System converged infrastructure offering. Today, Dell is announcing an expansion of Active System Manager to include a new, complementary product based on Gale Technologies technology. This new product will provide customers with an IaaS platform for end-to-end automation and orchestration of application, virtual desktop infrastructure and private cloud deployments using VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization technologies.

Edward Jones said Wednesday that it was introducing its own fixed-income mutual fund to clients using its fee-based platform, a move that the St. Louis-based broker-dealer says represents a course correction rather than a radical shift in corporate strategy.
"We are not altering the direction of the ship and are putting the needs of our clients first," said Steve Seifert (left), principal with the firm's investment-advisory operations, in an interview with ThinkAdvisor. "As we continue to grow and look for the best ways to perform for our clients, this is an important step forward for Edward Jones."
Olive Street Investment Advisers, a unit of the St. Louis-based broker-dealer, filed a prospectus for the Bridge Builder Bond Fund on Aug. 6. The fund's subadvisors are Robert W. Baird, J.P. Morgan Investment Management and Prudential Investment Management.
Today, the average expense ratio for funds on Edward Jones' fee-based platform, known as Edward Jones Advisory Solutions, is more than 50 basis points. The prospectus states that the proposed fixed-income fund would have an initial fee of 38 basis points.
"This is not a for-profit initiative," Seifert said, "so the opportunity is there to realize lower expenses for clients relative to the average core bond fund in the program today."
The platform currently has about $100 billion in client assets out of total client assets of roughly $700 billion, or about 14% of total client assets. Edward Jones Advisory Solutions, introduced in 2008, is now the fourth-largest mutual funds advisory program in the country, according to the firm, and has close to 500,000 accounts.
"A basic tenet of our program is that we do not want our research department to be encumbered by competitive issues," Seifert said. "It works on what makes most sense for our clients."
The new bond fund will be available only to the firms' fee-based clients, according to the privately owned Edward Jones, which has about 12,000 advisors. Plus, its structure means that research staff can look more critically at money managers working on the fund and choose from a wider variety of managers to contribute to the fund, the broker-dealer says.
Also, the new fund should "alleviate some challenges for clients," he notes, "especially when we have to remove or replace a money manager." Typically, these shifts would set off a taxable event, for instance.
"With the subadvisor structure, we can make changes in the core-bond space, in terms of managers, without this being a taxable event or saleable event for the client," added Seifert. "At the end of the day, it gives us access to those managers that our research department has the most conviction in, without being constrained by capacity limitations."
Culture Shock?
Still, Edward Jones' move into the world of proprietary products is causing some experts to scratch their heads. "It's an interesting development, because the days of the wirehouse firms manufacturing and distributing their own funds are long gone," said Mark Elzweig, a New York-based executive-search consultant, in an interview. "Everyone these days is very sensitive to potential conflicts of interest."
But Seifert, who is in his 25th year with the company, says the client-centric culture of Edward Jones "is rooted pretty deeply."
"In the past, our intent was never to be a product manufacturer," he explained, "except when client needs would cause us to move in that direction, and there was no appropriate solution in the marketplace."
Scott Burns, director of fund research for Morningstar, has a bit of a split opinion on the matter.
"On the one hand, this is interesting because it's about them entering the fund business," Burns said in an interview. "But on other, they are already doing this to a certain extent, as they run a lot of fund-of funds wrap programs already on their internal platform."
The fund expert, who says he looks at the investing world with a "vehicle-agnostic view," believes Edward Jones is just "delivering a particular set of strategies, a fund of funds, wrapped it in a '40 Act mutual fund that's being made available on its platform."
As for the motivation behind the proprietary product, "It's possibly easier to investment in due to a lower minimum, say, and easier to manage from the back office, since all investors are in one vehicle as opposed to being in separate accounts," explained Burns.
References to Edward Jones' lack of proprietary products on its website are "in the process of being revised," the company says.

Man, when will the pillaging end? When will they stop remaking movies that seriously, really and 100% truly do not need remakes?
So now comes the news that not only is the a remake of David Cronenberg's 1983 freakout film Videodrome is still happening, but ad-making talent Adam Berg, who has done some nifty ads like this one that reminds me of that ZombiU trailer is now helming it. Super.
Up top, see a trailer for the original movie. Seriously… that was a trailer. For a movie. And now, we've got slow-mo super-clean HD bullcrap. I don't know, this remake business is turning me into a grump. First Total Recall, now this.
But hey, this is the OT, so enough from me. Some prompts: Do remakes tarnish the original? Or is it okay, as long as the original still exists? Are we shouting into the wind here? What's the worst film they could remake next, where does it end?
Feel free to discuss that, or something less curmudgeonly, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. Have a wonderful hump-day chat. And hey, maybe have a good hump-day hump, too, if you're into that sort of thing.

When I was in Iraq, our Gunny lost his NVG's (night vision goggles). Guess who got in trouble? Everyone below the rank of Gunny… In the middle of the desert, everyone had to dump their gear and wait for hours while SNCO's searched our belongings. All operations were halted. The NVG's were never found. Everyone continued to get fucked with for the next couple of days. The gunny "Gunnery Sergeant Alston" (also involved in the drowning at MCRD Camp Pendleton a few years back) was never punished.
It is my belief he should not only be punished for losing his equipment, but also be punished for abusing his authority and blaming his WHOLE ENTIRE UNIT instead of taking responsibility for his own actions.
As far as I have seen, this is what the majority of the leadership in the Marine Corps consists of.

Mathematical films will be featured next week in the Edinburgh International Science Festival's mathematics film festival Film3 — maths at the movies.
The season of mathematical movies was created by the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences and Filmhouse Cinema to showcase three very different independent films. Each film is based around a mathematical concept, but also provides an element of social commentary.
The season opens on 27 March with the UK premiere of the highly acclaimed animation, Flatland the Film. Based on the 1889 novel by Edwin A. Abbot, the film tackles issues revolving around race, gender, religion and globalisation. Mr A. Square is an average middle-class Flatlander until enlightenment allows him to see his world from a different dimension. He discovers that Flatland is threatened by forces it cannot possibly recognise. Will he be able to save his family and his world? Everyone attending the screening will receive a "goody bag" containing postcards signed by Flatland's director Ladd Ehlinger Jr, a copy of the novel donated by Transreal Fiction, vouchers from Filmhouse and Edinburgh International Science Festival, and other mathematical goodies from ICMS. A discussion led by Maximillian Ruffert of University of Edinburgh and Katie Russell of Heriot-Watt University will follow the film.
You can read the Plus review of the original 1889 novel Flatland in the Plus article 'Flatland'.
Pi is screened on 1 April and explores the life and experiences of Max, a gifted mathematician who believes that everything in the Universe can be expressed mathematically. He becomes obsessed with finding the underlying pattern behind the stock market, but religious and commercial groups try to exploit his research. Can he pass through this philosophical maelstrom and survive unscathed? Giorgos Papageorgiou and Tim Johnson of Heriot Watt University will discuss the film with the audience after the screening.
The final film, Cube, is screened on April 3. Cube investigates the relationships between six apparently unconnected individuals who wake up inside a three-dimensional maze of interlocking cubes. Developing mutual trust is the key to survival as they are forced to collaborate on cracking the code behind the Cube's mechanism. How many will escape to discover the bigger mystery that lies outside their existentialist prison? Science fiction author and mathematician Hannu Rajaniemi will discuss questions arising from the mathematics in Cube with the audience.
Tickets are available for individual films, or at a discounted rate for all three, from the box office at Filmhouse Cinema, 88 Lothian Road, Edinburgh, EH3 9BZ (phone: 0131 228 2688). Each screening will start at 5.45pm, and there will be discussion in the theatre after the screening, and then over coffee and drinks.
Plus will be attending the screening of Pi, so please come and chat to us! You can read more on the Film3 — maths at the movies website.

Recently, Plus reported on work done by mathematicians from the Universities of Exeter, Bristol and Budapest into why traffic jams often occur for seemingly no reason.
Now, for the first time, researchers from several Japanese universities have recreated this effect by placing 22 vehicles on a 230-metre single-lane circuit. The drivers drove at a steady 30 kilometres per hour, and whilst initially the traffic flowed smoothly, eventually a backwards travelling shock-wave developed which forced some cars to almost stop and others to increase their speed to 40 kilometres per hour to catch the car in front.
Watch the video below, which comes from the New Scientist channel on you-tube. You can read more about this in the original New Scientist article.

The 2008 Templeton Prize has been awarded to Polish mathematical physicist Michael Heller. Heller has worked for more than 40 years in theology, philosophy, mathematics and cosmology, and intends to use the £820,000 prize to set up a cross-university and inter-disciplinary institute to investigate questions in science, theology and philosophy.
The Templeton Prize was founded in 1972 by philanthropist Sir John Templeton, and is awarded annually to a living person for "progress toward research or discoveries about spiritual realities". It is the world's largest annual monetary prize of any kind given to an individual (£820,000). Plus reported on John Barrow's success in 2006.
Heller has been rewarded for "developing sharply focused and strikingly original concepts on the origin and cause of the Universe, often under intense (communist Poland) governmental repression."
Heller's work these days is largely in non-commutative geometry, which he uses to attempt to remove the problem of a cosmological singularity at the origin of the Universe. "If on the fundamental level of physics there is no space and no time, as many physicists think," says Heller, "non-commutative geometry could be a suitable tool to deal with such a situation."
You can read more on non-commutative geometry in the Plus article Quantum Geometry.

Just like the review before mine, vitamin C was already oxidized when I opened it. Threw out the bottle so wasted 1850 + delivery fee on this. Payment transaction and delivery were seamless though.

Are you kinda excited for the Winter Olympics, my darlings? I mean, despite the fact it's in Russia, which enjoys persecuting gay people cheerily waving rainbow flags at the opening ceremonies when it's not busy claiming they don't exist. And yes, they destroyed some perfectly good wetlands and dumped construction waste all over a pretty resort town in order to create structures on dangerous ground.
But that's the fascinating part! Lots of geological consideration went in to all that construction. I had a look at one of the papers written before the first hole was dug, and yikes, is this ever complex. You may or may not love this year's Winter Olympics, but you'll definitely find the geology behind it interesting. Go check it out.
Edited to add: I stumbled across a seismograph of what Seahawks fans do to the ground round here, and just couldn't help myself. Behold, the seismic impact of Seahawks fans. I'm coining the term anthropogenic seismicity if it hasn't already been done.
